CALL FOR PAPERS

Eleventh ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop

Copenhagen, Denmark
Friday, September 14, 2012

A satellite event of the 17th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on
Functional Programming (ICFP 2012).

Erlang is a concurrent, distributed functional programming language
aimed at systems with requirements on massive concurrency, soft real
time response, fault tolerance, and high availability. It has been
available as open source for over a decade, creating a community that
actively contributes to its already existing rich set of libraries and
applications. Originally created for telecom applications, its usage
has spread to other domains including e-commerce, banking, databases,
and computer telephony and messaging.

Erlang programs are today among the largest applications written
in any functional programming language. These applications offer
new opportunities to evaluate functional programming and functional
programming methods on a very large scale and suggest new problems for
the research community to solve.

This workshop will bring together the open source, academic, and
industrial programming communities of Erlang. It will enable participants
to familiarize themselves with recent developments on new techniques and
tools tailored to Erlang, novel applications, draw lessons from users'
experiences and identify research problems and common areas relevant to
the practice of Erlang and functional programming.

Practice and application papers describing uses of Erlang in the
"real-world", Erlang libraries for specific tasks, experiences from
using Erlang in specific application domains, reusable programming
idioms and elegant new ways of using Erlang to approach or solve a
particular problem. The maximum length for the practice and
application papers is restricted to 12 pages. Note that this is a
maximum length: we welcome shorter papers also; the program
committee will evaluate all papers on an equal basis independent of
their lengths.

Poster presentations describing topics related to the workshop goals.
Each of them includes max 2 pages of the abstract and summary.
Presentations in this category will be given an hour of shared
simultaneous demonstration time.

Workshop Chair

Torben Hoffmann, Issuu, Denmark

Program Chair

John Hughes, Chalmers University of Technology/Quviq AB, Gothenburg, Sweden

Instructions to authors

Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted
using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines.

Each submission must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy. Violation
risks summary rejection of the offending submission. Accepted papers
will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library.

Paper submissions will be considered for poster submission in the case
that they are not accepted as full papers.
